Episode Synopsis

Behind the fighter jets lies a defining test for Canada’s leadership. Shane Hewitt talks with Matt Gurney about how the F-35 program exposes gaps in defense planning, strained budgets, and the shifting tone in Ottawa under Mark Carney. They dissect why the air force’s aging fleet signals more than just mechanical fatigue—it’s a symbol of stalled decision-making and a country caught between political caution and global responsibility. Learn how this single procurement choice could reshape Canada’s role in NATO and its political future. GUEST:Matt Gurney@‌mattgurneyhttp://readtheline.ca Originally aired on 2025-10-07
